#28: Silver Ombre Tips

You don’t have to extend your silver ombre to cover most of your hair – you can always highlight only the tips. Girls with dark hair will love how light gray ends complement their dark brown locks; all you need is a medium to long shag haircut for the best impact.

#29: Long Ash Blonde Pixie with Dark Roots

Another myth about ombre hair that’s worth debunking is that it only works with long, flowing, wavy manes. Here’s a look that completely contradicts this cliché. This grown-out pixie is very contemporary, with its bold asymmetry and pitch-black roots. Meanwhile, the rest of the hair has been dyed a striking ash blonde, for an ultra-hip overall effect.

#30: Ash Blonde Hair with Silver Accents

Instead of creating a powerful contrast between dark and light shades for your ombre, you can choose a natural look with ash blonde toward silver tones. Choose ash blonde as a base color and use silver as a glow coating for selected pieces.

#31: Platinum and Silver Highlights

If platinum suits your skin tone, you can definitely take it to the next level by trying a more sophisticated ombre or balayage look. You can go for a dark ash blonde base and dilute it with shiny platinum streaks. Ladies with long hair will love the look for sure.

#32: Back to Black Ombre Hair

Ladies with raven black hair can also adapt the ash blonde hair idea to their dark locks. Instead of simply choosing dark ash blonde, you can tint the ends in tones close to charcoal for a perfect balance between the dramatic and the subtle.

#33: Balayage Ombre Hair

You don’t have to create your ombre half-way down your hair; as a more natural-looking alternative, you can combine the idea of balayage highlights with ombre and get a wonderful result.
